Wednesday was the hottest day in Denmark this year, but did not break the all-time temperature record.

The 33.6 degrees Celsius recorded at Hammer Odde on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm was the warmest day of an already-scorching summer 2018 and in any year since 2010, meteorological institute DMI said.

The record temperature was reached at 5:40pm on Wednesday, duty meteorologist Henning Gisselø said.

“It was recorded very late. That is because there were some clouds before the sun came out. Just two hours earlier it was 26.5 degrees,” Gisselø said.
